If its not copyrighted and trademarked, or in writing, its not stolen. Besides, one would have a helluva time proving its true. BUSINESS IS BUSINESS, and if you’re about your business, you’d be business minded, and check your personal emotions at the door.

However, people act like he’s not capable of change, in and about his movies.

YEP I SAID IT

SO ONE OF TP’S SAVE A HO FILM IS BEING SUED??

Koko

Peeps come up out of the woodwork with this all the time, the best thing about this is seeing Lil’ Gary Coleman in that clip, that is too funny and I sure hope he is at peace.

I don’t think he stole it. Good Deeds was a typical TP movie… predictable. Don’t get me wrong not throwin’ any shade, it is what it is.

Now had you said A family that Prays, that would have been more believable.

Keepitbay

First of all the movie came out how long ago??
really ?? Crabs in a barrel!

And why is someone always got to come later with the "that was my idea story", If you dont KNOCK IT OFF!

honey

hahahahhahahaha i swear i said the same thing,i was like’first of,before we continue,when did this movie come out again?? loooooool and why the law suit noooow??….did she travel out of this world to just realise somebody stole her work…guuurrrl puh-leeaaase!!! and LMAAOOO @ ‘crabs in a barrel’ lool

It’s her business

I was wonder why this lawsuit was so late too.

It’s her business

*wondering

Loving This Site

If so cut the check, and let this get swept under the rug. The damn movie made $35 mil.

Okay so I’m sure TP is a very busy man….does he have time 2 sit around reading books he got in the mail??…..has anyone heard of or read this book B$, and if so, I wonder how similar it is 2 the movie???…..feedback anyone?….this reminds me of when Chris Rock was sued 4 his movie "Bad Hair"….I don’t know what happened with that but I believe CR DID steal that idea…a comedian just ups & decides 2 do a movie about hair?…whatever….I hope this isn’t true b/c I really like Tyler Perry….2 this some would ask " what idea is original anyway?"…..

It’s her business

I was thinking that too. Why doesn’t the judge/lawyer just read the book and see if it’s similar. Wouldn’t that be considered going over evidence?

tori

I wouldn’t be surprised if this was true, lemme find out TP is takin a page out of Queen Bey’s "book" by stealing other people ideas and NOT givin credit! But damn, that movie came out when??

Lady A

Oh stop the Beyonce hate already…it must be really hard being Beyonce when she’s got so many haters…ya’ll ain’t got nuthn on Beyonce, & ain’t shyt ya’ll can say about her….WOMEN are the main reason women can’t get along…. #jealouswithches#

*STOP THE PRESSES & PUMP YO BREAKS Lady A. I go in on Beyoncé, but I am a HUGE fan of her music! Don’t get it twisted! I love the girl but she is INFAMOUS for passing off OTHER PPL’S SONGS & WRITING AS HER OWN…that is FACT, NOT OPINION!

Lady A

Name one song Beyonce "stole"…on an album there’s a thing called the "Song/Album Credits" that are used 2 credit the song 2 the person(s) who actually wrote it…..when a songwriter sells a song 2 an artist, does it not become the artist’s song??….I have heard of only one instance where someone tried 2 sue her claiming she ripped off their song….other than Neyo’s "To The Left" can you name the songs she supposedly "stole" & passed off as hers…so you "go in" on her but ur a fan….that’s like saying "Yeah I’m ur friend, but I just talk bad about you sometime"…WHATEVER…..

mslady126

Lady A.. I was shocked too so I googled it.. Perez Hilton has video of her admitting to stealing stuf and LAUGHING… and there’s a clip of her stealing dance moves from Countdown, imagery from a 2010 VMA performance, and bitin’ Rihanna’s style. It’s all there.. wow…

I don’t care.. but she’s not original. It doesn’t matter much though because that’s not who she claims to be. Her singing skillz aren’t fake. She should give more credit to people, whether or not she pays them for their "inspiration".

tori

Lady A. I said I was a fan of Beyoncé’s MUSIC (reading is fundamental kiddies) so my opinion of her as an individual can be completely opposite! I’m not going to list every SONG or CHOREOGRAPHY that Beyonce has PASSED OFF AS HER OWN or as she so eloquently puts, is "INSPIRED" by because I would be typing for DAYS if not WEEKS or MONTHS if we go back to her ORIGINAL DC days! The girl is great at what she does, but understand she has an ARMY of ppl around her that helps her pull it off and the ONLY ORIGINAL thing she has done is eat a piece of KFC ORIGINAL RECIPE CHICKEN, which she probably ate out of a POPEYE’s box!

It’s her business

I don’t know if she steals songs, but she definitely steals a lot of style ideas. Like trying to be Tina Turner and trying to redo that Single Ladies black & white video. We have yet to really see her own style come forth.

LXL

I think this is the third or fourth story that I have heard that TP have supposedly stole someone else’s ideas. They should have at least been smart enough to had copyrights to their work. They would have a hard time proving that he stole anything.

ALM

The issue that the plot of the movie is SUPER generic. It will be difficult to prove that the idea was stolen.

BeyStan

Perhaps she waited so that the movie could generate all that it possibly could in order to get a bigger pay day…DUH!

Escalady

Well she’s the one that sent the book in! Whatev, I love me some Tyler Perry, he’s gon be my baby daddy! Lol, but seriously, she act like people can’t have the same Idea! I guess I should be sueing the company that decided to name their show off of my idea for a reality show…….

It’s her business

I think its plausible that Tyler stole some ideas.

gloria

The proof will be in the pudding, which will be reading the book. It won’t take a rocket scientist to figure it out, although I don’t think it was TP personally that stole the idea but it would have been someone on his staff.

versatile

I think "OPPORTUNIST". Also I think CEATIVE opportunist. Gets her name out here and curiosity to read her book. Sorry. Saw the movie and whatever she wrote can NOT be as good the movie. I LOVE TP! And TP partnering with OWN is AWESOME! We all saw OWN flailing but "O" is an angel and God won’t let her fall.First Ilanya and now TP and hopefully an Oprah format with guests will put OWN in the clouds AND employ more African Americans. It’s like who’d of thought BET could mak a comeback? APOLLO LIVE is off the chain!
